Peace One day with the Canada for Africa Group

Throughout the years, millions of organizations and individuals have been active to mark the United Nations international day of peace, the 21st of September. It’s time for many organizations to carry out life-saving activities in areas of conflict, and create awareness of this day to help reduce violence across the world. Our young members Halifax Young Generation (HYG) in Nova Scotia have carried out projects over the years to mark this special day: http:youthcelebration.ca/.

This year, a tune-up to be with Canada for Africa Group founder, Germaine Basita who will have the privilege to participate in a roundtable discussion organized by the University of Ottawa on  Women, Peace, and Security:  What Futures for Gender, Peace, and Security? A ‘Think-In’ on the International Day of Peace. Distinguished community mobilizers, Indigenous leaders, policymakers, diplomats, and researchers will be part of the conversations.
